As the general crowd of the Cabaret room mulled over their drinks, and engaged in idle chitchat, there was a sudden boom from the entry doors. Every turned to see two identical men. Speaking in perfect unison, the two proceeded to say:

 

Do you know the secret about the land of the doubles talented writers gathered here? No? Do you want to find out? We harken from this land, and if you can prove to us you know the secret of the land of the doubles, we will take you there with us for glory beyond your wildest imagination. We will give you four clues to start you, if you believe you know the secret, please post a response in the correct format of our clues. If you can proove more than once that you know the secret, you will be admitted to the land of the doubles. Now, for the clues

There is blood but no wounds in the land of the doubles.

There is sleep but there is no one that is tired in the land of the doubles.

There are books but no words in the land of the doubles.

There is darkness but no night in the land of the doubles.

 

If you KNOW the secret, do not give it out to anyone else, they will have to figure out the secret themself to become a true member in the land of the doubles, and you yourself shall loose your entry.

 

The two men sit oon identical stool next to each other, and order identical drinks, waiting for people to approach them with their answers

 

 

*(OOC: This is a competition, I may think of some sort of reward if you answer correctly, though I don't know what yet :)

 

it /*is* taken from my friend at an ultima online board, so I dunno if he took it from somewhere else - if you know the answer, just post your entry and be accepted, now, give the two men your best answers!)

Lumpenproletariat walks up to the two men,

 

"There are employees but no work in the land of the doubles,

There is atomic kitten but no Beatles in the land of the doubles"

 

The two men welcome lumpenproletariat to their group

 

 

 

(OOC: Either I, or another member of land of the doubles will welcome you into the group. PS. Tyrion, don't ruin this.)

Mr.Bunny hops over to the doubles in a semi-drunken stagger.

 

"..."

 

A few minutes later, Stick shrugs and gets up.

 

There are bunnies in the hutch, but no carrots on the door.

There is lettuce in my hand, but no rabbit poo on the floor.

 

 

 

OOC: I'm sorry, I have *no* clue.

ooh, lemme guess

 

there are threes but no twos (oddly) in this land of doubles?

In fact, you can say that there are odd numbers, but no even numbers in the land of the doubles.

 

Then again, there are no fives.

/me Is getting annoyed for being told he hasn't got it, when he clearly has.

 

What did I do wrong? threes are in the land of doubles, and twos arent.

odd is and even isnt.

five isnt. (fifteen is, though)

 

Which part of this isnt true??

And where did I give away the secret??

 

I have no idea why I'm suddenly so personally touched by this.

 

Impostor

anyway, there's no lumpen in the land of the doubles. So there.

Peredhil consoles Imposter who cleverly diverted attention away from the fact he'd answered it so clearly.

 

There are bookkeepers but no libraries in the Land of Doubles, which I find to be a trouble

There are preeminent Hollywood stars but no galaxies in the Land of Doubles, but you won't need to look through the telescope of Hubble.

There is no spring in the Land of Doubles, but definitely there is fall.

There are Meeps and Wiggly Cabbages in the land of the doubles, but no orangutans :(

 

on another note

 

There is an affection, but no love

A happiness, but no joy

Feelings, but no truth!

Ah, I understand now. I think that I've got one:

There is beer but no wine in the land of the doubles.

There are wigglies abounding, but no place for my shotgun.

But despite both of these, in this land there's no troubles.

The walls are all gapped, but the walls have no holes.

But this I won't find in the land of the doubles.

There isn't any money and there always are tolls.

Beginnings, no ends, in the land of the doubles.

 

I'm a poet and I didn't even know it.
